  • Publication number: 20090232681
    Abstract: Disclosed is an ultrasonic piezoelectric pump in which a piezoelectric pump is integrated with a fluid pipe without a check valve so that the structure can be simplified. The pump includes a fluid pipe having a hollow part formed therein to permit a fluid to flow from a fluid source, a piezoelectric actuator inserted into the hollow part and including a piezoelectric device and a plurality of fluid holes, a controller connected to a lead wire to apply a driving power to the piezoelectric device, and a tapered nozzle inserted into the hollow part in front of the piezoelectric actuator and tapered forward and downwardly.

  • Patent number: 7517467
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of forming a pattern, comprising: attaching a single-layer or multi-layer sacrificial film made of a semi-solid or solid material on part or all of the surface of a substrate; irradiating the sacrificial film with a focusable energy beam such as a laser beam to form a region to be charged with a functional material; charging the functional material into the formed region using a method such as an inkjet; drying the functional material; and removing the sacrificial film, thus obtaining the desired pattern.

  • Publication number: 20090032107
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an organic solar cell made of a transparent conductive polymer electrode and a fabricating method thereof. An anode electrode is formed on a substrate, a photoactive layer is formed on the anode electrode, and a cathode electrode is then formed on the photoactive layer. The anode electrode is formed by stacking conductive polymer particles by an electrostatic spray printing method, and a micro pattern is formed on the substrate before forming the anode electrode. The micro pattern is formed by hot embossing, the photoactive layer is formed by gravure printing or spin coating, and the cathode electrode is formed by screen print or evaporation deposition. A series of processes for fabricating an organic solar cell is performed using a roll-to-roll process.

  • Publication number: 20070259293
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for forming a pattern, comprising: attaching a single-layer or multi-layer dry film resist made of a semi-solid or solid material to part or all of the surface of a substrate; exposing the dry film resist to light either by irradiating a focusable energy beam directly onto the resist or by projecting a specific wavelength range of light onto the resist, to form a region to be filled with a functional material; charging the functional material into the formed region using a method such as inkjetting; drying the functional material; and removing the dry film resist, thus obtaining the desired pattern.

  • Publication number: 20060254440
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method and apparatus for manufacturing an electronic device, which is intended to economically manufacture an electronic circuit device, such as an IC chip, using functional ink and a roll-to-roll rotary pressing process. The method includes a first step of injecting functional ink into a forming groove of a forming roll, a second step of removing ink covering a surface of the forming roll, a third step of drying a surface of the functional ink injected into the forming groove, a fourth step of transferring the dried surface of the functional ink to a printing roll, a fifth step of drying another surface of the functional ink transferred to the printing roll, a sixth step of transferring the functional ink from the printing roll to flexible printing paper which is unwound from a winding roll, and a seventh step of winding the printing paper, on which an electronic circuit is printed, around a rewinding roll.

  • Patent number: 7000892
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a pneumatic servo valve, and more particularly, to a pneumatic servo valve, wherein displacement of a spool due to flow force of a fluid is prevented by firmly holding the spool just after position control for the spool is completed, thereby ensuring the stability of a valve system, and an encoder is employed as a spool position detecting means.
